Dual Ideal Diode Controller Replaces Two Schottky Diodes to Provide Efficient Power Supply ORing & Supply Holdup in High Power Applications

June 14, 2012

MILPITAS, CA – June 14, 2012 – Linear Technology introduces the LTC4353, a 0V to 18V dual ideal diode controller that replaces two high power Schottky diodes, enabling low loss ORing of multiple power sources with minimal disturbance to supply voltages. The LTC4353 regulates the forward voltage drop across external N-channel MOSFETs to ensure smooth current transfer between supplies in diode-OR applications. In low voltage systems, a slow handoff between controllers results in a voltage droop during supply … Read More → "Dual Ideal Diode Controller Replaces Two Schottky Diodes to Provide Efficient Power Supply ORing & Supply Holdup in High Power Applications"
